A POSTMAN'S joke has gone viral on social media – after he warned Brits living at house number 8 may never get their post for one very strange reason.
Ben Davis, who works for Royal Mail, says there's a simple mistake lots of people make that could stop them getting deliveries altogether.
He posted a video about the issue on TikTok, where it's been watched more than 350,000 times.

"Otherwise, it undermines the structural integrity of the eight, and it's liable to topple and become an infinity symbol."
With a deadpan delivery, he added: "If you live at number infinity Smith Road, you are never getting any post – thank you very much."
Some of the 41,000 people who have liked the video commented underneath Ben's post.
One said: "There's a house round the corner from me who's used a nine as a six and it enrages me."
